Now that's what I'm talking about! Look forward to seeing the final product

Finally , got it done. Couldn't find a suitable stem handle, so I just cut off the control box and made up a bracket attachment.
Extended the cable by 3 ft, works fine.
I can throw the control box in a small back knapsack/bag , and hunt by sound , did everything above iron.

Latest Vnquish 440 water mod. Sewed the control headcover on to a Minelab cap and use it like a Detectorpro headhunter pirate metal detector (electronics in the headphone).

1st test water hunt, works great, not much loot though, just 4 quarters, and 2 pulltabs...the beach was clean!

you can buy a Xterra Pro for around 235.00 , waterproof headphones 125.00 $360 and you can dunk it and not worry about destroying it. HH Tony
